Placement Schemes

Deciding which law firm is right for you is not always easy. Our Placement Scheme will help you to feel fully informed and experience our culture for yourself.

Our Placement Scheme provides a chance to spend time with us and see exactly what we do on a daily basis.

You’ll spend 2 weeks in our Hong Kong office gaining experience across a range of different practice areas where you will carry out real fee-earning work that could include attending client meetings and going to court.

Support is always close at hand, with a designated supervisor. You’ll also meet a variety people, either at organised networking events or as part of your day-to-day interactions, and this will give you a real insight into the culture of the firm.

During your time with us you’ll be automatically considered for a Training Contract and will take part in assessment activities which will be reviewed along with your performance during the Placement Scheme.

All our Hong Kong placement schemes are paid.

Placement scheme dates for 2026 will be as follows:

• Scheme 1: 1 - 12 June 2026
• Scheme 2: 15 - 26 June 2026
• Scheme 3: 29 June - 10 July 2026

You will be asked for your scheme date preferences as part of your application form, and we will aim to take these into account.
